COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Drain well before adding to baked goods like cakes, muffins, or breads to prevent the batter from becoming too soggy.
- 2Incorporate into savory dishes such as sweet and sour stir-fries, Hawaiian pizza, or fruit salsas to provide a balance of sweetness and acidity.
- 3Canned pineapple tidbits are ideal for gelatin-based desserts or dairy dishes, as the canning process deactivates the enzyme bromelain, which would otherwise prevent setting or cause bitterness.
- 4Blend into smoothies, cocktails like piña coladas, or use as a topping for yogurt, cottage cheese, or ice cream.

- Store unopened canned pineapple tidbits in a cool, dry place like a pantry for up to two years, checking the expiration date.
